Notes

Amigo Bignami's important work followed the lead provided by Ross in the previous year. His collaborators were Grassi and Bastionelli. Bignami was already an expert on malaria, and there is some evidence that he, like others, suspected the role of the mosquito. See Parasitol. Today 9:348, 1993. See 1899.
